Kick off 2026 with a night of high-voltage Houston rock at Dan Electro's! Three powerhouse acts take the stage for a genre-spanning evening of noise, grit, melody, and meaning.

Municipal Bats opens the night with their signature wall of sound �" a relentless noise-rock trio fusing post-punk tension, industrial grit, and Southern sludge. Inspired by The Jesus Lizard, Bauhaus, and Shellac, their shows are a cathartic blast of chaos and art colliding.

Next up, The Midnight Papers bring a fuzzed-out garage pulse with proto-punk bite and new wave swagger. Their debut album �" hailed by the Houston Chronicle as one of 2025's "22 Houston Music Releases You Need to Hear" �" blends distorted guitars, melodic vocals, and anthemic energy that channels Patti Smith, The Pretenders, and The Kills.

Headlining the night, The Wheel Workers deliver two decades of Texas indie rock evolution �" a collective known for its lyrical depth, sonic diversity, and electrifying performances. With acclaimed releases like Citizens, Post-Truth, and Harbor, the band has earned praise from Houston Chronicle and The A.V. Club, and shared stages with The Flaming Lips and Phantogram. Their most recent record, Harbor, dives deep into resilience, recovery, and connection �" all wrapped in their trademark mix of fuzzed guitars, soaring synths, and raw emotion.
